Closes a data base opened with the MULTIDB command.
Discussion |

The CLOSE command allows you to close a data base opened with
the MULTIDB command, without exiting from QUERY. The data base that
was opened with DEFINE or DATA-BASE= commands is unaffected and
remains open until the end of your job or session.
You may want to close a data base opened with a MULTIDB command
for the following reasons:
You
have reached the limit of 10 open data bases that QUERY allows.
You want to re-open your data base with the DEFINE
or DATA-BASE= command so that it will be the primary data base.
You have exclusive access and/or have finished using
the data base and want to allow access to other users.
A data base closed with the CLOSE command will not be listed
with subsequent MULTIDB commands. Data items in a closed data base
can no longer be accessed. Any data bases not closed with the CLOSE
command are automatically closed by QUERY at the end of the job
or session.
